The discomfort comes &  goes.  I used to do knee exe. not so regularly but now im doing.And also I found there is not much difference between MRI i took in march 2022 to MRi i took in oct 2023. I found only the following one addition ie. Chondromalacia grade 2 & early patellar tendopathy. The old impressions were chronic partial tear of acl and peripheral tear of posterior horn of medial meniscus.   Now based on this do i have to go for surgery or physiotherapy can cure me?For ref.im 6 feet tall , underweight and do take precautions like avoiding staircase , wearing knee straps and physiotherapy for 5-10 minutes.

The first part of my stool comes out on its own without much straining and is of normal thickness. However, after sitting for a while and applying slight pressure, the remaining stool that comes out is noticeably thinner. There is no bleeding and I do not have any significant pain or discomfort. However, when I strain more during bowel movements, a small reddish fleshy tissue protrudes slightly from the anus. It goes back inside automatically when I stop straining. I am taking 1 tsp isabgol husk 2 or 3 times in a week. A few weeks ago I visited a surgeon and the DRE was normal (within limits).

I have developed a painful swollen lump near the anal opening. The pain is present while passing stool and I also experience pain even while passing gas. Sitting for long periods makes the discomfort more noticeable. I noticed the swelling recently and it is tender to touch. I have attached a photo of the affected area for reference. I would like to know what could be causing this pain and swelling, whether it requires an in-person examination, and what tests or treatment may be needed. I have started increasing my water intake and eating fiber-rich foods to keep my stools soft. I have not attempted any treatment other than maintaining hygiene. Please advise on the seriousness of this problem and whether I should consult a general surgeon or another specialist.

Hello Doctor I have been experiencing digestive symptoms for about 1 month. - I developed constipation about a month ago. I usually pass stool daily, sometimes 2–3 times a day, but I often feel I need to wait several minutes before passing stool like 10 min. - The day before yesterday, when I was feeling significant constipation, I had to put pressure while passing stool and noticed a small amount of  blood. Since then, there has been no further bleeding. - I have frequent burping and a feeling of heaviness in the epigastric region throughout the day. - I experience random brief teasing/twinge-like pains on the right side of my abdomen that come and go. - I feel nausea too sometimes. - I also experience low energy, fatigue, and a heavy-headed feeling, which tends to become more noticeable when I have significant gas or abdominal discomfort. What do I do further?

I am a 26-year-old male. I have been experiencing frequent panic attacks. During these episodes, my blood pressure suddenly rises to a very high level, and I feel intense anxiety. I also have mucus/phlegm in my chest, which makes it difficult to breathe and often increases my panic. Sometimes I feel chest tightness and discomfort while breathing. Because of these symptoms, I am worried whether this is only due to anxiety and panic attacks or if there could also be a lung, heart, or blood pressure problem. Please advise what tests I should get done and which specialist I should consult. I would also like to know the best treatment to control these panic attacks and improve my breathing.

For the past 3 days, I have had a feeling of incomplete bowel evacuation. Even after passing a soft stool, I feel as if some stool is still left in the rectum, causing mild pressure and discomfort near the anus. During straining, a small, soft, reddish tissue protrudes slightly from the anus, the stool passes through it, and it retracts on its own once I stop straining. A general surgeon performed a digital rectal examination and said the symptoms might be stress-related. I was prescribed Elokic 5 and Vizylac Rich. I would like to know whether this protruding tissue is a normal finding or whether it could indicate internal hemorrhoids, rectal mucosal prolapse, or another rectal condition. Should I consult another surgeon ? there is no bleeding in stool .
